Write the esterification reaction of acetic acid with isopentyl alcohol to  form isopentyl acetate and acetic acid. What is the theortical yield  of isopentyl acetate and which one is the liniting reagent? Moles of acetic anhydride= 0.023mol Volume of acetic anhydride= 2.2ml Molar mass of acetic anhydride= 102.09g/mol Volume of isopentyl acetate = 2ml Molar mass of isopentyl acetate = 88.148g/mol Density of isopentyl acetate = 0.81g/mL Mass of isopentyl acetate (Actual yield)= 1.887g

Methyl benzoate can be synthesized by a Fisher Esterification reaction, and then this ester can be used as a starting material in the grignard synthesis of triphenyl carbinol. Suppose that in the synthesis of methyl benzoate, a student started with 12 grams of benzoic acid and 29.86 ml of methanol. After finishing the preparation of the ester, 7.63 grams of methylbenzoate was obtained, and the benzoic acid reacted completely. What is the percent yield of the ester? ( density methanol = 0.791 g/ml, methanol = 32.04 g/mol, methyl benzoate = 136.15 g/mol, benzoic acid = 122.12 g/mol )

The flavors and aromas of almost any fruit are primarily due to esters. In an experiment, an artificial fruit flavor is prepared using the Fischer esterification (reaction of an alcohol with a carboxylic acid in the presence of sulfuric acid catalyst). Why is it easier to remove excess carboxylic acid from the product than excess alcohol?

Write a test to identify the presence of ethanoic acid?

Salsalate, which is an ester formed by the reaction of two molecules of salicylic acid, is another salicylate used as an aspirin alternative for those who are hypersensitive to aspirin. Draw the structures of salicylic acid and salsalate.

Draw the structural formulas of the "parent" carboxylic acid and the "parent" alcohol reacted to make each of the follow- ing esters: Cl a. CH-CH-C-0-CH,CH, b. CH,CH,-O-C- CH, O 15 CH,C-C-O-CH, C. CH, d. CH,CH,CH,СН - О—С—CH,

Write the acid dissociation chemical equation for acetic acid and the chemical equation for the reaction of acetic acid with sodium hydroxide.
